The 2023 Tampa Bay Rays season was the 26th season of the Tampa Bay Rays franchise and their 16th as the Rays. The Rays played their home games at Tropicana Field as members of Major League Baseball's American League East.

The Rays started the season with 13 consecutive wins, tying the 1982 Atlanta Braves and the 1987 Milwaukee Brewers for the modern era (post-1900) record, and the most since the 1884 St. Louis Maroons, before suffering their first loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on April 14.{{cite web | url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2023/04/13/tampa-bay-rays-tie-mlb-post-1900-record-for-13-consecutive-wins-at-season-start-beat-boston-red-sox/70112534007/ | title=Tampa Bay Rays tie MLB post-1900 record for 13 consecutive wins at a season's start, beat Boston Red Sox 9-3 | website=USA Today }}

The Rays drew a total attendance of 1,440,301 to home games at Tropicana Field — a 27.6% increase from the previous season but still only 27th of the 30 MLB teams.{{cite web |title=Tampa Bay Rays Attendance, Stadiums, and Park Factors |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/TBD/attend.shtml |website=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=3 October 2023 |language=en}}{{cite web |title=Morning Buzz |url=https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Morning-Buzz/2023/10/02.aspx |website=www.sportsbusinessjournal.com |access-date=3 October 2023 |language=en |date=3 October 2023}}

On September 17, the Rays qualified for the postseason for the fifth straight year.{{cite web|last=Berry|first=Adam|website=MLB.com|title=Clinched!
